    Hey Folks,

    I've been meaning for a long time to get back into watching UFC. Only proplem is I don't have Sky or UPC.

    I was told before that some highlights/pre fight clips are available on the website but full matches are only available on ESPN?. Is there anywhere I could watch thesein full? Be it the official website (after the live match) or another online provider.

    Don't post any illegal links here obviously but any and all suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks.

    The prelims are nearly always shown on Facebook and on UFC.tv on their official website.
    And as far as I can remember, the FX cards are shown on UFC.tv aswell.
    As far as the numbered events go, I think the only way to watch them without having ESPN is to pay for them through the UFC website. Unless you wanted to watch on the illegal sites the following day or an illegal stream on the night.

    I thought you could get them on ufc.tv now or subscribe to it.
    Hopefully a few pubs will be showing the London one, can watch it at a normal time for a change when people are still awake

    Yeah you can get them on ufc.tv now for about 12 quid, I always watch them on there. A subscription to ufc.tv gets you access to their library of older fights which is not great, there's a lot missing from it, and you still have to pay for current events separately.

    I thought they had a pack last time which was for the final 3-4 fights in November and December for a better price (35 for 4 fights or something). They should do something like that or else a 3/6/12 month subscription. Keep it simple and get people in in bulk
    I'd buy that for a dollar

    Yeah you're right actually, they were doing that for a while, I only didn't buy it cos I had sporadic access to ESPN at the time. I would most likely fork out for something like that as well.

    Must see if there's anything worth picking up for January/February. Could be worth getting the next few fights and will keep me off the streets as it were

    I get them from UFC.tv as well.

    I'm usually not around or up at the time they are on, so getting UPC telly and ESPN isn't worth it.

    Can you go in a re-watch in the morning or on-demand on UFC.tv? Always wondered if i could get out of bed at 6am and just watch it?

    You can with main card but not with prelims as far as I can see. Once you've paid for a main event you have access to it for 24 hours, but the free prelims seem to disappear into the ether once they've aired - I have never been able to find them anyhow. I try not to fall asleep till the main card comes on now..

    Yeah, looks to be the only way to catch it. I'm sometimes still awake for the facebook and prelim fights but just having the PPV card to re-view might be enough
    Time to go back to the drawing board on this one

    Sky+ it or whatever the UPC equivalent is. I sky+ it and watch it as soon as i wake up. Simples. If you have sky of course.
